METAL ARTS GUILD 2010 ALL-MEMBER EXHIBITION
 

The Metal Arts Guild and Lireille – Gallery of Contemporary Jewelry and Art -- are excited to present the 2010 All-Member Exhibition. Lireille is a museum-style gallery featuring contemporary art, jewelry and fine arts from emerging and nationally acclaimed artists. Lireille is dedicated to promoting art jewelry awareness and availability to the public and to expanding the creativity boundaries in art jewelry.

This is a great opportunity for all MAG members -- professionals, emerging artists and students -- to share work with the Bay Area community. Early submission offers a significant possibility that your work may be used in announcements and promotion of the exhibition.

Nexus

October 29 – December 5

Relationships in today's world are no longer defined by traditional conventions.  We forge, link, solder, kink, and merge our individual selves into units that defy standard definition.  For the 2010 MAG All-Member Exhibition, all MAG members are invited to create jewelry and sculptural works that explore the boundaries and diversity of relationship, connection, and commitment.  Jewelry, sculpture, conceptual pieces, and works that explore every aspect of connection are welcome.
